Mine That Bird was unloaded in front of barn 40 at 10:40 a.m. and was walked back to barn 42 by exercise rider Charlie Figueroa. Mine That Bird grazed for 20 minutes before being led back into stall 22, which has been his home here since he arrived on April 21 for the Kentucky Derby.

“It was an uneventful flight and he handled the trip well,” said trainer Chip Woolley. “He came out of the Belmont great. He has held up well and hasn’t lost any weight. I am tickled with where he is at now.”

Woolley said he has not decided on when Mine That Bird will return to the track.

“He is definitely going to walk for three or four days and then I may back-track him a couple of days to get the kinks out,” Woolley said.

“I want to watch him the next three or four days and make sure everything is well,” Woolley said. “If it is, we’ll come out with a plan. We have not made a decision, but there are six options we are looking at.”

Woolley said he plans to stay in Louisville through the weekend, when he, jockey Calvin Borel, and owners Mark Allen and Dr. Leonard Blach will receive their Kentucky Derby trophies between live races on Saturday’s Reunion Day featuring the Stephen Foster Handicap (gr. I) at Churchill Downs.

“My brother Bill may come in after that and that will give me and Charlie a chance to go home to New Mexico,” Woolley said.
